Sorry for the stupid question, but I couldn't get it working on Kali Linux

python3 brute_force.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "brute_force.py", line 3, in
from bitcoin import G, fast_multiply
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bitcoin'

How and from where to import it>?

Hi,

You have to pip install bitcoin whether in a virtualenv (preferred) or globally (in this case replace pip by pip3).

As @darosior said, you have to install the bitcoin dependency for some scripts.
However, you have to understand that most of theses scripts are proof-of-concept.
If you really wish to bruteforce something, i would update the substract_optim.py script.
However, this last one has a high space complexity, but i think we can do better (not quite sure, but there is an algo for the discrete-log with a constant space complexity and running-time complexity of O(2^(n/2))).
